Roch did not mention him as pitching, but Geoff Arnold says on the broadcast that Baumann may pitch as well.   Of course Roch is actually in Sarasota and Brown is in Baltimore.

Nice jump by Kjerstad to get to a bloop that could have fallen in front of him.

[Orioles West]

Irvin gets out of the jam - solid D from Wong and Kjerstad. Early strike zone seems small the way the Ump is calling it.

[SteveA]

Seems like MASN has fixed the jittery CF camera.

[Orioles West]

Yeah, CF camera is not making me dizzy today.

[SteveA]

9 pitch at bat by Smith ends in a bloop hit to left.   Irvin couldn't put him away.

[Orioles West]

It feels like Irvin is being squeezed a bit, he should have got the strike call before the soft single.

[SteveA]

Nice Wong-Mateo-Mounty DP.

[dystopia]

Tight zone. 

[Orioles West]

I know Wong is likely a depth move, but he looks in mid season form with the glove so far.

[Orioles West]

Decent interview with pitching coach Drew French.

[SteveA]

Surprised Irvin is being pushed past 40 pitches.   He had some high pitch count ABs so far.
